More great info, thanks!I've got longer brake hoses already (an old Buschur kit), so that 3000GT part might have worked for me... RockAuto's inventory is the one that failed me. If you order those parts expect a phone call the next day saying they don't actually have it... :-/ I've...
Thanks for all the info!This caliper is not salvageable, the piston is rusted/pitted beyond reuse/rebuild. I hunted around for a few hours and only found 1 place that had the part listed as in stock (showed they had 4 left). Placed the order last night and then today got an alert that...
I'm using the Nokian WR G2s. I appreciate the fact that I can use them year round. I'd say they're about 95% of a top end snow/ice only tire... Good enough for rallyes in MI in Winter time as long as I'm careful!
First off, I've got a left rear that's locking up. Oddly the caliper seems OK when hanging loose. Piston pushes in easily enough it seems. However, if I slip it over the pads and press the brakes it locks solid. One suggestion was a problem with the brake line swelling (I have SS Braided...
Yeah, I can imagine the balance might not be perfect. Don't the replacement parts and even the rust and mud covering the driveshafts/in the joints throw it off too though?I don't see any point to used carrier bearings when new stock ones are reasonably priced. These driveshafts used are...
Well, it's been an adventure. The best used driveshaft I could get was still in really rough shape. So, I gave it to the local shop because they have better tools. They still struggled with the rebuild due to its condition, but were able to find another partial driveshaft and make one good...
It took another month of driving around, but the problem is visible now. "Front" carrier bearing is shot. It's got so much play now that my driveshaft has started hitting my exhaust. "Rear" carrier bearing seems OK, but will have that replaced too. Looks like it's going to be a big mess...
Well, couldn't save it. The wheel hub/axle assembly is not going to be reusable. Where do you guys throw out heavyish, but relatively small car parts like that? Will scrapyards take parts that small?
OK, I guess the profile thing changed? All my old info was gone. I built a new one best I could from memory. Probably missed a few items. I definitely don't remember my timeslips or dyno tq accurately anymore...
